# May 2026

> What changed in Swiss HR Easy in May 2026.

May brings the new *Lohnabrechnung*: monthly payroll from calculation to payslip, bank file and authority reporting.

## Highlights

* **Monthly payroll, end to end.** Create a run, calculate, add corrections, then download password-protected payslip PDFs or e-mail them to employees.
* **Payments and reporting built in.** Export pain.001 bank files, reconcile camt statements, hand off to accounting and file EMA and *Quellensteuer* reports.
* **Year-end covered.** *Lohnausweis*, *Jahresmeldung* with AHV splitting and *Lohnkonten* come from the same payroll runs.
* **Quellensteuer on the employee profile.** Edit status, residence, *Konfession* and cross-border details; DE, IT and FR *Grenzgänger* get the right tariff automatically.
* **References by e-mail.** Send the questionnaire to a referee via a secure link, or record a *Referenzgespräch* internally; HR keeps the final call.

## Also new

* Payroll master data (*Kontenplan*, *Lohnarten*, *Versicherungen*, *Lohndatenempfänger*) managed in Settings.
* 13th-month salary with proration, plus cantonal *Familienzulagen*, *Geburtszulage* and *Haushaltungszulage*.
* Filter applications by Herz / Kreuz / Fragezeichen rating; the *Verlauf* shows who moved a candidate.
* Employee profile gains contact and family tabs and a document-language setting.
* Contract form picks the workplace, auto-fills weekly hours and prefills from an existing employee.
* Employees can hold two concurrent contracts; absences can be assigned to a workplace or contract.
* Offboarding dashboard; notification subscriptions by e-mail, in-app or Teams; users table filters and sorts.
* Stronger access controls and data protection across AI features, audit logs, uploads and sign-in.

## Fixes and polish

Microsoft sign-in works again for accounts without a job title, contract downloads open as real PDFs, and unticking the rejection e-mail during a stage move is respected.
